The STARK 
EARLY 
ELBERTA 
Queen of All Peaches 
Of the Elberta Type 
This great peach, as introduced 
and developed by Stark Bro’s, is 
THE finest of ALL Elbertas. The 
huge golden globes of fruit it bears 
in such astonishing abundance are 
now famous wherever peaches are 
grown. Fruit is a beautiful golden 
yellow, blending into a glorious red 
on the sunny side; a strong, pro¬ 
tecting skin, covering a luscious 
flesh flavored with a juice as 
SWEET AS NECTAR. The finest 
eating peach in the world and also 
the firmest, finest canning freestone peach. Clear golden juice — 
no red at pits when canned. Allures with its beauty, gratifies with 
its quality, and sells for TOP MARKET PRICES everywhere.* 
Ripens 2 Weeks Earlier than Old Elberta. A much LARGER 
peach — more highly colored, decidedly better in quality. Not so 
fuzzy, has a smaller seed, with none of the bitterness or coarseness 
so noticeable in old Elberta, and is not stringy. 
In texture the Kenuine Stark Early Elberta is luscious, melting and buttery—< 
not siK)n«.v and eoarse as is often found in Eliierta. It colors all over befoi-e 
it softens, which makes it ideal for distant shipments. Tree is much hardier than 
Old Ell»erta and will l>ear as many bushels as old Elberta or any other known 
variety. Bears when others faiL 
ONE OF THE WORLD’S HNEST PEACHES 
To descrll>e this iH*ach so you will appreciate its value is almost impos¬ 
sible. It must be seen and eaten an«l enjoyed to know anything altout 
how beautiful and how good it is. The flesh is a rich yellow, with just a 
little red around the pit, and from the strong protecting skin clear through 
until the pit is reaclied it is sweet and luscious—none of the bitterness— 
none of the stringiness—none of the coarseness of the Elberta, l)ut tine- 
grained, melting meat with a tang and flavor never before found in a 
yellow i)each. 
NONE CAN EQUAL IT 
Stark Early EU>erta is in every way suiH*rior to old Elberta. I planted 
100 trees from your nurseries wliich l)ore tlie second year. As a shipper 
and keeper, none other can touch it. 
—L. A. Smith, Placer Co., Calif. 
THE FINEST HOME CANNING PEACH 
“Sometime ago we bouglit alM)ut 50 Early Elberta peach 
trees of you. Since they have come into liearing I have 
canned them and <lisi)layed the fruit. .lust recently have 
displayed them at Fruit and Flower Show with many tine 
compliments. I especially stress the sunshine vitamin in 
thik peach. Without doubt it is the finest home canning 
peach on the market.” 
—Mrs. .7. Edd. King (Michigan).
